Hello from Melbourne, Australia.

My name is Ben I live in Melbourne Australia, I have just traded in a Steel and Gold Date Just, jubilee bracelet, champagne dial that I inherited and tried to wear for about seven years but was just not me.
I got myself an Explorer which I think is a nice, simple, functional, readable, everyday watch. Found TRF whilst looking for instructions on how to adjust a Rolex bracelet, very happy this is where I ended up.

Looking forward to spending some time here with you all.

Ben.

Hi Ben,

I've been here only a short time and its an awesome place to be, so a big welcome :-)

Hope its cooling down a bit for you that way, Aircon has been going overtime here in Syd :-)

I'm considering either an Explorer or GMT next :-) the fun part is the browsing around :-)

Chat soon,

Dave.

Welcome to TRF, Ben. We have a whole passel of TRFers in Melbourne. You might have to rent out a whole restaurant to have a local GTG.

Enjoy your stay and join the fun.

Hi Ben

I like the Explorer too, just a great watch

Not many Rolex wearers in Melbourne, that I see anyway, so good to have another known wearer

Not that he's gotta carry out any hits personally, of course.

Welcome aboard, Ben!
